Spruce Up Your Succulents Garden With These Tips

Add a Splash of Color

The greenery of succulents is beautiful but adding some eye-popping color to your succulent gardens can really complement your home décor and personal taste. Try some bright containers to match your room or glass beads that match those throw pillows you love. There are no rules with color so have fun experimenting and adorn your succulent garden with as much or as little color as you want.

Style with Decorative Objects and Fillers

Incorporating other bits and pieces in with your succulents will really bring your garden to life. Moss, small rocks, textured material and other fillers are an easy way to add some of your own style into a succulent terrarium or garden. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t go overboard, decorative fillers will not harm your plant.

Have Fun with Unique Containers

Succulents are hardy and can grow anywhere—making them fun to plant in new and creative ways. Experiment with different containers and pots when making a miniature garden for your home. Try a miniature greenhouse for a tropical look or vintage tins for a retro vibe. Think outside the box (literally) because no box or container is off limits with versatile succulents.
